Featured Premium Tanks

KV-5

The KV-5 is a Tier VIII heavy from the Soviet tech tree. It has a strong hull and turret armor. This makes the KV-5 a good choice for ramming strategies. If taking down an opponent's tank like a heavy-weight wrestling champion is your idea of fun, send this metal monster to your garage!

Although the KV-5 can run up to 40km/h, it needs space to execute ramming techniques. Also, beware of vehicles from higher tiers as the KV-5 cannot penetrate armor beyond 125-209mm.

Get the KV-5 if you strongly value a good defence and a tank's credit-earning capability.

Pros:
  • Strong hull and turret armor
  • Can take a lot of damage
  • Decent speed for a heavy tank
  • High HP
  • Earns a high amount of credits
  • Good rate of fire
Cons:
  • Large size makes it a challenge to find proper hiding spots
  • Low penetration for its tier
  • Slow turret traverse

 

Type 3 Chi-Nu Kai

The Type 3 Chi-Nu Kai debuts as the first Japanese tank in the game. It’s a Tier V medium premium tank. You will find that it has a decent 480 HP and an engine that can shift to its top speed of 38.8km/h. The Chi-Nu Kai’s 75mm gun can take down most Tier V tanks; it fires at 12 rm/m with adequate penetration.

Just be careful to avoid being shot in the hull. Use sniper strategies to unleash the Chi-Nu Kai’s full potential.

Pros:
  • Highest alpha damage of all tier 5 medium tanks (excluding howitzers)
  • Highest penetration of all tier 5 medium premium tanks
  • Third highest penetration of all tier 5 medium tanks, only loses to the T-34s 76mm S-54 ( 125mm) and the M4s 76mm gun M1A1 ( 128mm)
  • Great Gun elevation
  • Good view range
  • Very good money maker
  • First japanese tank in the game
Cons:
  • Subpar armor
  • Mediocre depression and speed
  • Very slow turret traverse
  • No limited matchmaking (gets to tier 7 every now and then)
  • Very poor signal range

 

Churchill III

The Churchill III is a Soviet tier 5 premium heavy tank. Although slow, it has devastating firepower! It has a high rate of fire at 26.25 r/m which can down opponents quickly. Look out for weak spots and bully those pansies into submission! Another great feature that makes this tank a keeper is that it generates a lot of EXP, which makes it a great tank for training your crew.

But like most bullies, the Churchill III could only pick on tanks of its tier and under. Make a run for it when you see higher-tiered heavies or when you feel that enemy arty is trying to push you off the playground.

Pros:
  • Armor is highly effective against tier 4s
  • Largest hitpoints pool of any tier 5 tank
  • Very high rate of fire, reasonably accurate even while moving
  • Frontal weakspots easily hidden by hull angling
  • Generates a high level of EXP, which speeds crew training
  • Cheap ammo and repair costs
  • Preferential matchmaking means it only sees up to Tier 6 battles
  • Very large ammo capacity
Cons:
  • Moves, accelerates, and rotates slowly
  • Low alpha damage
  • Barely-adequate penetration values
  • Poorly-protected turret
  • Mostly unsloped armor
  • Priority target for artillery
  • Gun reloads faster than it can aim

 

Sexton I

The Sexton I is a British tier 3 premium self-propelled gun.

Although it does not damage well, nor is it extremely accurate, it has a high rate of fire for its type. The Sexton I is also capable of reaching its top speed of 40.2km/hr quickly.

Keep firing and moving to get the best out of this machine!

Pros:
  • High rate of fire
  • Fairly mobile
  • Huge ammo capacity
  • Large gun sweep
Cons:
  • Low damage per shot
  • Poor shell penetration
  • Low XP generation limits training
  • Crew positions do not match well with other British SPGs

 

E-25

The E-25 is a German tier 7 premium tank destroyer.

This beast could pop a shot into an enemy tank once every 3 seconds. Its superior speed of 65km/h allows it to move into action quickly. And its Power/Wt Ratio allows it to climb places fairly quickly.

The E-25 does, however, have low penetration abilities. But its accuracy will allow you to hit weak spots with ease. It also has weak armor, so be sure to utilize this TD's speed and move around to avoid getting hit.

Team up with some good scouts and fire away at located enemies. The E-25 makes a great support sniper.

Pros:
  • Amazing speed and mobility
  • Very low silhouette.
  • Insane RoF - a round every 3 seconds
  • Excellent camo rating
  • Can scout (if needed)
  • Outstanding accuracy, far superior to the regular 7,5 cm StuK 42 L/70
  • Can be played as a ghost recon sniper
  • Very useful for quick support
  • Special MM, encounters up to Tier VIII tanks
Cons:
  • Low armor
  • Low Alpha damage and poor penetration for its tier
  • Crew members get knocked out fairly easily
  • Small ammo capacity for its RoF
  • Low maximum damage (8100 in average) compared to other tier 7 vehicles
  • Expensive when compared with similar premiums and credit generating ability

 

Tetrarch

The Tetrarch is a Soviet tier 2 premium light tank.

It was provided to the USSR from Britain through the Lend-Lease Act. The tank was available as a 2012 New Year’s gift from Wargaming to all players for a limited time with the release of the 0.7.1 patch. The Tetrarch has also appeared in gift shop bundles on rare occasions.

It is well-armed, fast on firm ground and has a powerful radio. This is balanced by very weak armor, poor view range, and sluggish cross country and traverse performance.
Pros:
  • Excellent acceleration and top speed allows this tank to reach good spot positions very fast
  • Great traverse speed
  • Excellent penetration, accuracy and damage
  • Good turret traverse speed
  • Good signal range, stay in the near of your team while scouting for spotting damage
  • Fantastic (the typical tier 2) matchmaking
Cons:
  • Poor armor
  • Poor view range
  • Sluggish traverse
  • HE shells deal high damage

 

M3 Light

The M3 Light is a Soviet tier 3 premium light tank. It is currently not available from the in-game store.

It was previously available to new players for completing the in-game training course. It's slightly better than a stock M3 Stuart, but inferior to one that's been fully upgraded. Even so, don't underestimate this tank, as it still has decent top speed and a fast-firing cannon.
Pros:
  • Excellent top speed
  • Good turret traverse speed and elevation arc
  • Good rate of fire
  • Does not encounter tier 5 battles, unlike the regular Stuart
Cons:
  • Poor damage and penetration
  • Poor view and signal range

 

M4A2E4 Sherman

The M4A2E4 Sherman is a great support tank. This tier 5 American MT has a good RoF and does a fine job taking care of enemy scouts - especially medium and light tanks of a lower tier. It's got good mobility and can accelerate to its top speed of 52km/hr fairly quickly.

Although it has a superior frontal armor, you will not want to get hit on the sides while driving this tank. So stay close with teammates that can protect your sides and help absorb damage. This Sherman makes an awesome ride if you are into making credits fast!

Pros:
  • Armor can bounce shots
  • Accelerates well
  • Good signal range
  • Good turret traverse
  • Good hull traverse
  • Good matchmaking
Cons:
  • Larger than a regular Sherman
  • Inaccurate gun
  • Not to be used for scout rushes
  • Poor penetration

 

T1E6

The T1E6 is a tier 2 American premium light tank. It has a great max speed (48km/hr) and rate of fire (42.86r/m). So, hit-and-run strategies work best for this tank.

Like most light tanks, the T1E6 has weak armor. This tank has a bad view range, so it does not perform well as a scout. For best results, team up with tanks that have stronger armor so you can utilize the T1E6's firing speed.
Pros:
  • Accelerates quickly
  • No cost for AP ammo
  • Maneuvers well
  • Good rate of fire
  • Satisfactory reload time
Cons:
  • Not a strong damage-dealer
  • Weak armor
  • Low accuracy
  • Limited view range

 

Pz.Kpfw. B2 740 (f)

The Pz.Kpfw. B2 740 (f) is a German tier 4 premium heavy tank. It has an excellent view range of 330m and has a gun with decent accuracy. A high rate of fire of 27.63 r/m helps this beast to deal lots of damage in battle. It can perform well in both long-range and close-distance combat. Enemy ammo tends to bounce off its thick hull sides too.

Although this tank has good defense and offense characteristics, it can be slow and hard to maneuver. It does not have difficulty taking care of enemy tanks of a similar tier. But will face problems when it's up against enemies with better armor.

Pros:
  • High rate of fire and quick aim time
  • Only sees tier 4 battles, unlike the regular B1
  • Thick hull sides bounce most weapons of their tier when angled
  • Superior to the B1 in almost every aspect
  • Nippy track traverse speed and adequate acceleration
  • Gun is far superior to the regular 47 mm SA35
Cons:
  • Feeble gun
  • Enormous side profile attracts artillery/TD fire
  • Frontal armor retains the 35mm weak spot
  • Thin turret is easily penetrated up close
  • Exposed tracks
  • Low top speed
  • Basic radio
  • Lackluster crew trainer/credit printer
